Reviews

Beautiful piece! The print I received is slightly larger than the listed 16"x20" dimensions so worked with shop owner.
It comes rolled in the mail (which they state in the details).
The eyes are amazing and can't wait to display.

About

Watercolor is all about light and color-- That's why my studio reflects those two things.

It all starts with a sketch and a color palette.

Brushes are one of the most important parts of the watercolor process. These have been good friends.

This is where the digital tweaking and editing process happens. I want your prints to look exactly like the original!

The Story

I wanted to go on an adventure.
And I'm not talking airplane rides and mountains
(but how those do make my heart soar)!
It had to be one that would last more than a few weeks' vacation.
One that had the potential to fail.
One that would pull me and stretch me and require much.
One that would birth from my passion and have plenty of space for the unexpected.
I wanted an adventure in making beautiful things.
The watercolor shop of Audrey DeFord was born.

I am a few years in and loving every second of it.
Our world is big and bright and brimming full with curious masterpieces. It demands to be reveled in. There is much to celebrate. There is much to mourn.
Painting is one of the several ways I celebrate this crazy unpredictable life we've been given.
Come, join in the brightness. An adventure has begun.

Frequently asked questions

How long do orders take to ship out once purchased?

Orders will be shipped within 3-5 business days. Custom orders will be shipped within 10 business days.

Will my order include tracking?

All U.S. orders include tracking. International orders can be tracked until they leave the United States. Once shipped, I will send your tracking number with your shipping confirmation email.

How do you package your items?

Smaller prints ship in an acid free sleeve within a flat, sturdy cardboard mailer. Larger items will ship in an art tube.
In an effort to remain as green as possible, I use recycled material when available. For this reason, I also refrain from using printed receipts.

My order is a gift. Will you ship directly to the recipient?

I'd love to! Just make sure the their address is included in the purchase information instead of your own address.
